Articles are
listed in alphabetical order by state, so you can easily scan
through the articles for those within your state or other states in which
you have an interest.

This week’s newsfeed is a
combination of Jan 10, 17 and 26…so hold on to your hats. This week I
have added the category of “social media” to include those articles in
which the crime included the use of social media, either to lure a
victim, or the perpetrator recorded the crime on his cell phone. You
will notice “slavery” is a new category, only to be used when there
are articles that fit this category. This week, I have not included
the international articles in the listing. They are many and
basically mirror the crimes described in the first three sections. Of
particular egregious note (how does one compare??) are articles listed
under “other.”

Here are the articles by type of
crime, and when the crime involved social media and when special
education programs are involved, the section entitled “School,”
although the type of crime is listed within its proper category.
